Christian Louboutin's shoe collection for autumn/winter 2011 is one of the best we've seen in the designers stellar career so far and while his bags have traditionally played second fiddle, we think this could be the season that the accessories really shine, too. This 'Penny' messenger bag, for one, is certainly worth getting excited about.
Made from leather coated with premium lambswool, the bag is decorated with hand-hammered gold discs and a rectangular closure at the front that gives it a note of real urban chic. This is a spectacular piece to have in your designer wardrobe next season, and will complement all of your winter outerwear.
